What are the best Souls series LPs? I really enjoyed Squint’s Demon’s Souls and Kay Plays Dark Souls. Looking for something akin to that chill vibe for II and III.

Edit: Apparently I asked this question almost verbatim in 2015 and got some good recommendations for II, so now looking for III!

Not exactly an answer, but I would suggest checking out the ongoing LP of Sinner by Nidoking; the thing is literally the laziest Souls ripoff possible and it will be a great aperitif for something actually good (when someone comes up with a recommendation for 3, I don't think I've seen a very good LP yet - Slowbeef tried but he burned out on Souls midway through and it kinda shows).

CJacobs has done a very in depth LP of Bloodborne that focuses on lore and story. You should check it out.

Not strictly Souls, but Salt and Sanctuary is a 2D Souls-like (and not in the lazy "everything is dark souls now" way).

Well let me give you an assortment of various LPs that might strike your fancy.

wottermelon does a group type thing with rotating guests that's pretty fun. He doesn't get a lot of views, but he's a good LPer.

IGgy IGsen has a more completionist solo style.

I've started playing Monster Hunter Worlds, has anyone done a thorough informative LP of that yet? I'd particularly like to see what the different weapons can do when someone knows what they're doing, it seems like a game with a lot of combat depth and variety.

There was one in progress here, but it's essentially dead right now, or on extended hiatus. LPer said he might get back to it in 2019, if life eased up but yeah. Only one I know of that wasn't awful to try and watch.

There's also FaerieFortune's guided blind playthrough. She beats it once without all masks then goes back to get the rest for the all-mask reward.

You should look up the various Paradox LPs, they have a similar "turning game events into fanfic" flavor to them. Crusader Kings II is probably the best-known for that. The Papal Paradox LP is a good one to start with.

To go quickly is foolish. To go slowly is prudent. Not to go; that is wisdom.
Long shot, but is there any good LP of Settlements out there? The premise of the game interests me, but I'm not buying into that UI without knowing more about the game.

Seconded on the notion of the paradox mega-LPs in general being fairly awesome generators of fake historical fiction. I especially enjoyed Blood in the Bosphorus, by Empress Theonara, and Gold Rules the World, by ZeroethK. Both require Archives, but ongoing is Hashim's Chronicles of Al-Andalus is ongoing and the author has recently confirmed that we're going into Hearts of Iron IV as we goons in the Majlis have continued to absolutely gently caress up poor Andalusia.

Also, re: DF, if you haven't read Bravemule, you definitely should. Finest of all Dwarf Fortress LPs.

Looking for some lp's to have on my second screen while working, so something that's easy to listen to. Bonus if it's an ME andromeda one since I still haven't witnessed that shitstorm.

It's not Andromeda, but SubponticatePoster has done LPs of Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3, including their various DLCs. She's currently in the middle of the Leviathan DLC for ME3 before moving on to finish the game up completely and then cap it all off Citadel.

Okay the Jeff & David recommendation was really good and I'm going to make some time for that series before I go back into the game but this playlist here is just so brilliant, I can't believe I only just watched these. It might not really be what I asked for, but you absolutely knew what it was that I needed. Thanks.

I'ma throw another lp in there, Habeasdorkus' own Football Manager 2014 LP is fantastic and he does a great job of writing story and characters around an in-depth Soccer Simulator. Also check out it's sequel when you're finished with it.

I'd only add that the first few updates of the fm14 lp are a little rough, it was my first lp and I was figuring out how to do it as I went. Once we get to October of the second season things really kick off.

Frank Cifaldi, former Retronauts podcaster, did a really solid LP of Gimmick! (or Mr. Gimmick!) for the NES around eight years ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYcf2yUgblc

He goes into a great amount of detail about the game, the developers, the technical aspects that make it better than most NES games, and plays it really well, considering how difficult it is.

Only problem: it uses YouTube annotations for commentary, and YouTube's axing annotations in four days. So watch it while you still can, if you're interested.

Not anymore. That was the plan, but because they have absolutely no self-awareness, they're now completely removing them entirely.

We will stop showing existing annotations to viewers starting January 15, 2019. All existing annotations will be removed.

So I've never played Morrowind or Oblivion, would anyone know any streams or let's players that made some good videos about with those games? I don't really want to play them but I've played a shitload of Skyrim recently and wanna see the what the other games were like.
